Brussels, Belgium , 29 June 2020 — We are deeply shaken by reports of a release of a video showing an ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ Nigeria colleague in captivity. The colleague in the video is a humanitarian aid worker, dedicated to assisting children affected by conflict in Nigeria. We appeal to his captors to release him immediately and without condition. Aid workers must never be a target. The ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ is working to secure the safe return of our colleague to their family.
The ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ has been working in Nigeria since 2012 and began working in Northeast Nigeria in 2014.
